ENTANGLED BETWEEN BROTHERS THIRTY-ONE: FATHER??
The day went by just as fast as it had started. My mind had mostly been occupied by the benefits I had acquired from the trial. Harris came to the office just after confirming with Lisa if I had reported, and we got down to work. Thankfully, Ashton's team had transferred everything without argument and done everything just as the court had ordered. Harris, as my representative, came to help me smooth the process. For something Harris had insisted would not take long, it sure was taking up my lunch break and mindless scrolling on the phone time. The first couple of hours were silent, filled with the rustling and flipping sounds of paper, the pen against paper, and the clacking of keyboard keys. After some time, we settled into the silence, and Harris broke it after Lisa brought in our second cups of coffee and some food. He suggested that I take a break if I was tired and leave everything to him after he watched me down the coffee in one go."I'm okay, this is my normal," I replied af
ENTANGLED BETWEEN BROTHERS THIRTY: SAVE TIME
The morning was perfect. It was cool and bright. The sun was not too high, nor was it harsh, it was just right. When I woke up, Ridley insisted on continuing to sleep, and so I somehow released myself from our embrace and tangled limbs. My first agenda was to get in a bit of exercise before work, thankfully, Ridley's home gym was available to be abused. I stretched for some time and used the equipment I was comfortable with. When Ridley woke up, I was on the yoga mat with my palms pressed firmly into it as I raised one leg behind me. He stood at the entryway for a few seconds, and I remained on all fours, alternating legs as I kicked backwards, the movement steady and deliberate. I smiled to myself. His gaze remained trained on me, unmoving and clearly distracted."Why didn't you invite me?" He finally spoke after a while.I moved my body to sit on the map and look at him. "I did," I replied, positioning my legs in a butterfly way. "You refused," I added and made a show of doing anoth
ENTANGLED BETWEEN BROTHERS TWENTY-NINE: NOT SO PERFECT
TWO-YEARS AGOAshton and I had been dating for two months, and every time I thought it could not get any more perfect, he proved me wrong. We were far beyond infatuation. Every time he was in front of me, I never wanted to let go, and when we were apart, it felt like torture. I looked forward to our morning drive when going to work, and I dreaded the evening drive when he dropped me off at my apartment. Working under Aston was much better than working under Mr Samuels. Everyone in the department was decent with me, and they even tried to earn extra points with Ashton by being extra nice to me when he was around. It was not awful, but I did wish it were not all fake. There was still gossip about what Ashton and I were to each other, and because no response was given to the articles, everyone was free to speculate.I asked Ashton if we could keep our relationship a secret, and he agreed. As things stood, it was all gossip and rumours, nothing had been confirmed, so people did not bother
ENTANGLED BETWEEN BROTHERS TWENTY-EIGHT: TROPHY
The office was buzzing.The silent gazes and stares were the major tell-tale sign of the newest hot topic of office gossip. The divorce and settlement. It was public knowledge at this point, tabloids and blogs had been posted barely hours after the ruling was passed. I knew Ridley had something to do with it, with everything that happened between us the same day, asking him about how the news had leaked so quickly was not the first thing on my mind...and if I had to be honest, I was not too bothered about it. Ashton had embarrassed me way too many times, this felt like some kind of payback. Lisa had already set down my morning coffee and the documents I had to look at when I arrived. She smiled and stood perfectly in front of my desk."Good morning, Ms Rawlins," she said with a smile, like she had planned to do it for the longest time. I returned the smile. "Good morning, Lisa. How are you?" I greeted her as I shrugged off my coat and sat. "How much work do I have to suffer through t
ENTANGLED BETWEEN BROTHERS TWENTY-SEVEN: BLOOM
My vision was blurry, and my body felt heavy. I could feel the weight of my body when I got up from the bed and walked to the bathroom in the most disoriented way. Every step felt heavier than the last, and I wanted nothing more than to go back into bed and rot for the entire day until I was not feeling like a zombie that could not control its own body. Even though it felt like an out-of-body experience, I struggled through my bathroom routine and ended with a cold shower. The heaviness I felt when I woke up had reduced significantly, though I could still feel the remainder of the hangover.Ridley was seated on the bed, scrolling on his phone when I walked out of the bathroom. He looked up once he heard me and put the phone on the bedside table. Unlike me, he was put together and did not look like he was cast for the Thriller music video. After setting his phone aside, he stood up and walked over to me. His green eyes scanned me, as if searching for any bruise or injury. I looked at h
ENTANGLED BETWEEN BROTHERS TWENTY -SIX: NEW RELATIONSHIPS
I was a bit loopy when I woke up, but nothing a cold shower and some food could not fix. Ridley had already set the table with breakfast delectables by the time I was done dressing up and ready. The smell of the food wafted through the entire hallway, and as I had expected, Lou was already sitting at the table with a plate of food already at her mercy. As if sensing my presence, Ridley turned to face me and smiled. I walked up to him. He pulled me into his arms and kissed my forehead. "Good morning, beautiful." He greeted, and I smiled back. "Good morning," I replied before he placed a light kiss on my lips. "I should have warned you not to feed her, or else she won't leave." I joked, referring to Lou. She looked up and glared before going back to the meal she was enjoying too much. "I need all the energy I can get for the day. Stetson drama is so exhausting." She sounded genuinely amused in between the chewing and talking. Ridley pulled out a chair for me, and I took a seat and d
ENTANGLED BETWEEN BROTHERS NINETEEN- TEMPERS & TANTRUMS
CHAPTER NINETEEN“Oh my god!” I exclaimed with full-on laughter.“Disco overload, I’m diamond, you know I glow…!” Ridley continued singing along with a remote improvised as a microphone to his mouth while the music was loud. His voice cracked multiple times, but it did not hinder his performance. M
ENTANGLED BETWEEN BROTHERS EIGHTEEN- VILLAIN ARC
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN Ridley had finally sorted out the issue about the lawyer—well, more like he had called in a favour from one of his former friends from university who was a very qualified lawyer. When Ridley described all the cases, Harris, his friend had taken on and won, I was amazed, he was an u
ENTANGLED BETWEEN BROTHERS SEVENTEEN-DINNER AND BONDING
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN (2 YEARS AGO)Ashton and I had settled into a routine. He would pick me up from my apartment in the morning, and we would drive to work together, of course, I would enter the building before him much to his disdain, and once the day was over, he would drive me back home. I had gro
ENTANGLED BETWEEN BROTHERS FIFTEEN- HOME
CHAPTER FIFTEENI probably forgot to mention that Maria was a very dramatic woman and that her son always hid behind her skirt. Ashton was like a young boy still under his mother’s protection, waiting for his mommy to speak for him. Even during the good times of our marriage, he did defend me, but
